I'm about to send my body off to be media blasted so that I can finish up some body work and get it over to paint. While it is gone, I have a buddy who is gonna blast and paint the frame...
My problem is that this EB is all original and uncut. Until I got a hold of it there were NO major mods and it had never been torn down or re-painted. I have access to a 302, but I WAS leaning towards rebuilding the original inline 6 that rolled with it off of the lot- just to maintain the "stock" specs that I have now (I'll be lifting it 2.5", but other than that, it will go back to original color, three on the tree, etc.).
Everyone is telling me to go with the 302, and in the long run, I think it would be more fun. I'd probably want to move to a floor shifter if I did this.
I'm basically looking for some feedback to help persuade me in one way or the other... Right now I'm 50/50! Thoughts???
Thanks,
Justin
